Bioactivity | Mevalonic acid (MVA) lithium salt is a precursor substance of the mevalonate pathway, which is essential for cell growth and proliferation. Mevalonic acid lithium salt is effective in inhibiting Simvastatin (HY-17502)-induced decrease in C2C12 cell viability in vitro. Mevalonic acid lithium salt can be used in studies of myopathy and heart failure[1][2]. |
Invitro | Mevalonic acid lithium salt (80, 90, 100, 110 µM; 72 h) shows prevention of simvastatin-induced loss of viability of C2C12myotube cells in vitro[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: |
